Description
Hurricane Katrina and the Redefinition of Landscape discusses the ways during which Hurricane Katrina and other such failures that follow within the wake of enormous-scale natural phenomena be capable to alter the physical and social landscapes of an area. Miller and Rivera emphasize the significance of the physical landscape and explore the ways during which any alteration to the landscape affects the commercial, cultural, and political lives of the survivors. During the example of Hurricane Katrina and the resulting devastation to New Orleans, Miller and Rivera suggest that economic and political policies will have to be more reflective of every unique physical location, thereby aiding within the development and sustainability of different cultures, economies, and political landscapes.
